Payment FAQs

Our office accepts payments via e-check or paper checks. eCheck is an electronic version of a paper check. To make a payment via eCheck, your bank account must be a personal checking or savings account based in the United States, and you must provide your bank account number and routing number. Refer to the Payments area of our website for more information on payment methods.

Only the person who established the eCheck account can view the details. For the sake of security and privacy, each authorized payer is assigned a unique login name and password to access their account and payment history.

Failure to settle an outstanding student account balance in a timely manner may result in a hold being placed on the account, leading to the withholding of enrollment, transcripts, diplomas, class selection, and bookstore charge privileges. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Student Accounts to discuss any special circumstances surrounding an outstanding account balance.

Many 529 College Savings Plans now offer a digital distribution option that saves time and improves transparency through real-time payment tracking. When requesting a withdrawal from your 529 account, check with your plan manager to see if a digital distribution option is available.

If your 529 College Savings Plan does not offer a digital distribution option, checks should be mailed to:

University of Notre Dame
P.O. Box 11116
South Bend, IN 46634-0116

Please ask the plan administrator to include the student’s name and NDID number in the memo area of the check.
